Schenectady, NY ?? Even as delighted participants assess their recent success at Proctors Winter Adventures camps, many already are looking ahead to the excitement of warmer months and being part of Summer Academy and Summer Adventures at the School of The Performing Arts at Proctors, the Capital Region?s premiere arts and entertainment complex.
Summer Adventures provides opportunities to explore the performing arts in a fun and non-competitive environment.
According to Jessica Johndrew Gelarden, Education Program Manager, ?Proctors? summer programs build the foundation for students with interest or talents in the arts, help them identify and explore different art forms, and aid them in pursuing career choices in the performing arts.?
What?s more, says Gelarden, ?Our programs are taught in non-competitive, accepting environments that foster growth and professionalism in the arts.?
From her perspective in managing the performing arts programs at Proctors, Gelarden is guided by the principals that inform all performing arts programs at Proctors: early training and creative experiences are what inspire and transform student, resonating with them as they develop to their full potential.
By design, Summer programs at Proctors are led by internationally acclaimed artists and professionals; producers, directors, choreographers and actors direct from Broadway who have toured the world with their talents; musicians and dancers who compose, choreograph and perform their work regionally and internationally; and artists with extensive teaching experience who also flourish as professionals in their field.
?You won?t find a better leading cast than the teaching faculty at Proctors,? says Ms. Gelarden. ?And, our programs are offered for all ages, interests and skill levels.?
